Send In Your Senior Theatre Materials

Deadline: July 15, 2019

ArtAge Publications, the source of Senior Theatre plays, books, and materials for older performers is accepting submissions for their 2020-21 catalog. ArtAge Publications meets the needs of older performers, from amateur to professional, so there is something for everyone—from short and easy sketches to 3-act musicals.

What to submit: The Senior Theatre collection features plays and musicals of all lengths, but short shows which run up to 20 minutes are the most popular. Directors look for comedies with mainly female casts that require few technical elements and ones that can be staged as readers theatre. Successfully performed shows have senior casts (or mostly senior) with up-to-date, feisty characters in modern and relatable situations. Roles should challenge performers, yet be fun to stage.

Our goal is to have playwrights craft shows that directors and actors will use. It was an in-depth session that attendees said was, “Very helpful!”

After you order, we will send the link. Then, contact us with any questions you may have.

The ArtAge collection features over 400 plays, books, and materials from 150 playwrights and authors. Last year there were 714 performances of plays in the ArtAge collection.

ArtAge reaches out the field with an 9000-name mailing list, the most comprehensive website (#1 in Google), and an e-newsletter that is regularly sent to 4200+ worldwide directors, actors, and Senior Theatre lovers. In a survey to ArtAge’s playwrights:
